| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers TBH, Sopra 1s might have been better for your room size, but if you like your bass response set to 11, you will have no regrets. Both are among my favorites. Enjoy, but keep an eye on your liver function... | |
| High expectations when listening to an orchestra Orchestral sound is perceived by each of us at each performance from the seat we have purchased, not from the location where the mics are suspended from the ceiling, so acheiving a facsimile of our memory on playback is a work of imagination, not ... | |

| The Wand turntable Mijo dislikes unipivots on principle, so all of us with treasured unipivot tonearms (or memories of same) must be in error. I'll let that thought stay right there. That said, the new Schiit Loki turntable looks like a much more sanely priced tic... | |

| phase linear 500 watt per chanell amp Flame Linear, Fizzle Linear, blown Fuse Linear....according to Peter Moncrief, the 400 was G-D’Souza gift to audio. Back then I was an Ampzilla man. | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs I work for an REL dealer and we have been bombarded with propaganda from them explaining the new T/x model's design evolution. Nothing would lead me to conclude amg56 is correct about their being targeted at HT. They make HT-centric models. Thes... | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? I’m 69, HS class of same. HiFi boomed as the pot smoking generation came along...not a coincidence IMO! The High End arose as my generation matured and prospered. The store where I work opened in 1975 and rode the wave. We are now ageing out an... | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? I can’t believe there haven’t been any votes for Van Morrison’s “Moondance”, “Crazy Love” or “Tupelo Honey”...For a time he was THE troubadour of stoned love. | |
| Make way for the future.... Long ago, when I could still hear the differences I no longer easily can, I tried a Marantz 7C with a Sansui AU5500 amp section, bypassing the Sansui preamp. Astonishingly better...no comparison really. Then using the Marantz 8B amp instead of t... | |
| Do Banana Plug Adaptors Degrade SQ? Some old JBL speakers of my acquaintance use spring loaded button style posts that take at most 14 ga. wire. These adapters from Parts Express allow you to attach any banana plug. Adding a few inches of solid 18 ga. won't hurt...you should see t... | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes Since you gave no system context you get suggestions that spread all over the place. A tube preamp is not a challenge to own or use. Dual triodes last a long time before degrading and they can offer superb sound quality even in quite affordable ... | |

| The Absurdity of it All I think the OP has a point.I work in a highish end retail store and am constantly asked by colleagues and customers what I think about how one item compares to another, whatever it may be. I have to be honest...at 69 y/o, with many live rock conc... | |
| All NEW Paradigm FOUNDER SERIES...Could they be Paradigm's best speakers yet ? Hi,Your pre-release enthusiasm is perplexing. Sure, Paradigm is a company with a strong tradition and some definite successes in the past, but they’ve made their share of misses too, like any big speaker company. Why don’t we wait and see if the... |
